*Tours do not operate in dangerous or severe weather. Tours may also be canceled in rare emergency situations.

In 2017 the Pike Place Market historical district began charging tour groups a licensing fee. For seven years, we have done our best to absorb that fee, and insulate our guests from that cost, because we truly value the Free Tour model, and how it allows travelers from all walks of life to experience our beloved hometown. The fee for this tour covers only ticketing and access fees that we are required to pay, and does not include compensation for your guide. Our guides rely on your generous gratuities in order to continue to offer these tours. Thank you!
